Topic: Record Auto Stop

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is this feature ever going to be available? I've had numerous shows recorded and forgot to stop the recording after I stopped playing. Ending up with a 3 or 4 hours of silence. Editing it out in Audacity is np, but it would be a nice button "stop recording after XX minutes.

easy with a rsi script,

start recording then press this button [better chance remembering at the start :P ]
every 15 seconds it will watch if deck 1 or 2 is playing
if not , the next 15 seconds later if still nothing is playing it will end recording 

repeat_start 'rememberForMe'? on & repeat_stop 'rememberForMe' : off & set $stillGoing 0 & repeat_start 'rememberForMe' 15000ms -1 & deck 1 play ? set $stillGoing 0 : deck 2 play ? set $stillGoing 0 : var $stillGoing 1 ? record off & repeat_stop 'rememberForMe' : set $stillGoing 1
 
As Locodog said it can be done via scripts and in many ways.
However, recording stops (as it should) when you exit the program.
So, why do you end up with 2-3 hours of silence ? Do you just leave VirtualDJ open and running after you're done ? Doesn't make sense..

Also another script you can use in order to have predefined time limit is this:

repeat_start_instant 'MyRecordingSession' 3600000ms 2 & record

This code will start recording at the press of the button, and will end it automatically after 1 hour.

Or you can also use event scheduler to through a "record off" action at a specific time (e.g. every night at 1 a.m.)

I've quit trying to second guess the after party, anything could happen.
 
for me, I have set a reminder...

I set a BUTTON in the skin and label it "RECORD" then BLINKS when RECORDING.
